So I am officially in another trio! Either no one can get along
with me or President thinks I work better with 2 companions. haha only joking.
But one of the Sisters in Rio Rancho went home because of medical reasons and
so they had to have an emergency transfer and Sister Acton's companion Sister
Hay went to be companions with the other Sister in Rio Rancho and so they
combined our areas so we have 2 wards again and we are so so excited!!(:
But this week I learned how important our covenants are and
keeping our covenants. I have been reading about the Anti-Nephi Lehis and all
that they went through. Their conversion story and their trials and hardships
that followed their conversion. I was reading in Alma 53 and it is to the point
in the story where the Anti Nephi Lehis are really struggling and they come to
the point that they almost dig up their weapons and begin to fight for their
liberty. In seeing this Helaman reminds them of their covenants and how it is
better to perish keeping our covenants than to win the battle breaking them.
(Alma 53:14-15)
Something that I loved in reading this was the faith of the Anti
Nephi Lehis. They knew that in keeping their covenant that they had made with
the Lord that He would help them. He would be there and he would guide them.
They talk about wading through their afflictions holding on to their covenants
and relying on the hand of the Lord to help them with the rest. And what truly
is amazing is that it happened. The Lord blessed the people with a way out of
their trails. He helped them to remember that their children could fight, and
not only that they could but that He would protect them in the process.
These men and women really were men and women of such great
faith and testimonies. They knew and were reminded of the strength that comes
from keeping their covenants. I know that that is so true today as well.
Whether it be a baptismal covenant (on a side note keeping the commandments is
part of that covenant and Missionary work is a commandment so if you need to
repent, repent and share the gospel) or temple covenants when we keep
those covenants the Lord keeps his part and we will find greater joy and
happiness in life. He will bless us and He will prepare a way for us to keep
those covenants. Hold true and see the beauty of the Lord unfold to you.
Love you all lots and hope you have the best day ever!!
